Wheel Encoders
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
Hi all,
this is my first posting to this list. I have built a simple robot
using a BSII micro-controller. It uses modified hobby servos for
locomotion.
I want to add wheel encoders to my robot and think I have figured out
the hardware part. However, after thinking about how the software
will work I am unsure if I can do this using the Stamp by itself or
if I will need another small micro (maybe a PIC) to do this.
I would prefer to do it using only the stamp if possible. I fear it
may be too slow to do all the processing required though. I am using
subsumption architechture in my software design.
Has anyone else added encoders to a robot using a BSII? Do you have
some code that I might be able to see?
What is the opinon on the stamps ability to manage the above on its
own?
Thanks for any help,
James Fitzsimons

quadrature hand operated encoder pulse generators. I found that if you try
anything over about 100 Hz it can't keep up with the pulses.
